GREEN — The Great Trail Council Boy Scouts of America Lakes District Cub Scouts held its Pinewood Derby March 29 at the hangar at the MAPS (Military Aviation Preservation Society) Air Museum.

According to event officials, the event drew more than 100 Cub Scouts from Barberton, Coventry, Doylestown, Green, New Franklin, Norton and Springfield, who put their derby cars to the test in a gravity-powered race. Participating Scouts carved their own cars out of a block of pine for the race.
